Investigation of period-color (PC) and amplitude-color (AC) relations at the maximum and minimum light can be used to probe the interaction of the hydrogen ionization front (HIF) with photosphere and the radiation hydrodynamics of the outer envelopes of Cepheids and RR Lyraes. For example, theoretical calculations indicated that such interactions would occur at minimum light for RR Lyrae and result in a flatter PC relation. In the past, the PC and AC relations have been investigated by using either the $(V-R)_{MACHO}$ or $(V-I)$ colors. In this work, we extend previous work to other bands by analyzing the RR Lyraes in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 Region. Multi-epoch data is available for RR Lyraes located within the footprint of the Stripe 82 Region in five ($ugriz$) bands. We present the PC and AC relations at maximum and minimum light in four colors: $(u-g)_0$, $(g-r)_0$, $(r-i)_0$ and $(i-z)_0$, after they are corrected for extinction. We found that the PC and AC relations for this sample of RR Lyraes show a complex nature in the form of flat, linear or quadratic relations. Furthermore, the PC relations at minimum light for fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars are separated according to the Oosterhoff type, especially in the $(g-r)_0$ and $(r-i)_0$ colors. If only considering the results from linear regressions, our results are quantitatively consistent with the theory of HIF-photosphere interaction for both fundamental and first overtone RR Lyraes.
Blueshifted hydrogen emission and shock wave of RR Lyrae variables in SDSS and LAMOST
天琴座RR型变星的氢辐射是冲击波穿过其大气层时留下的印记。我们开发了一种模式识别算法,然后将其应用到SDSS和LAMOST的单历元光谱。这两次分光巡天涵盖了$\sim$ 10,000颗经光度测定证实的天琴座RR型恒星。我们共发现了127颗具有蓝移巴耳末辐射特征的RR型天琴座星,其中包括103颗基模(RRab)、20颗一次泛音(RRc)、3颗双模(RRd)和1颗Blazhko型(在Catalina巡天中对具有强Blazhko调制的RR型天琴座星进行了临时分类,无法表征)RR型天琴座变星。这形成了迄今为止最大的数据库的性质,氢排放的RR Lyrant变量。基于ZTF DR 5,我们对具有长期调制氢发射的Blazhko型RR型天琴座星进行了详细的光变曲线分析。我们将Blazhko型RR天琴座星描述为RRab星,并指出可能存在的Blazhko周期。最后,我们在模拟光谱上进行了模拟,以测试我们的算法的性能,并在真实的观测策略上进行了模拟,以研究“第一次出现”的发生。
Photometric recalibration of the SDSS Stripe 82 to a few milimagnitude precision with the stellar color regression method and Gaia EDR3
通过结合LAMOST DR 7、SDSS DR 12的光谱数据和Gaia EDR 3的校正光度数据,我们应用恒星颜色回归(SCR; Yuan et al. 2015 a)方法重新校准了Ivezić et al.(2007)的SDSS Stripe 82标准星表。在总共约30,000颗光谱目标恒星的情况下,我们绘制出了星表中存在的相对较大和强相关的光度零点误差,在$u$波段中$\sim$为2.5%,在$griz$波段中$\sim$为1%。我们的研究还证实了一些小的,但重要的幅度依赖性的错误,在$z$带的一些电荷耦合器件。各种测试表明,我们已经实现了在$u$频带中约5 mmag和在$griz$频带中约2 mmag的内部精度,这比以前的结果好约5倍。我们还将该方法应用于最新版本的星表(V4.2; Thanjavur et al. 2021),并发现沿着R. A的适度系统校准误差高达$\sim$ 1%。方向和较小的误差沿十二月方向。结果表明,SCR方法的功率时,结合光谱数据和盖亚光度测量在突破1%的精度障碍的地面光度测量。我们的工作为整个SDSS光度测量的重新校准铺平了道路,并对未来测量的校准具有重要意义。最后讨论了SCR方法在不同情况下的应用和改进。
The Kinematic Properties of BHB and RR Lyrae stars towards the Anticentre and the North Galactic Pole: The Transition between the Inner and the Outer Halo
我们在Anticentre场中识别出51颗蓝色水平支星(BHB),12颗可能的BHB星和58颗RR型天琴座星。它们的选择不取决于它们的运动学。给出了7颗未知天琴座RR型星的光变曲线和星历表。除了4颗天琴座RR型星外,其余都是奥斯特霍夫I型星。我们对BHB星的选择标准给出的结果与Smith et al.(2010)和Ruhland et al.(2011)使用的结果一致。我们使用5种方法来确定BHB星的距离和3种方法来确定RR天琴座星的距离。这些恒星的绝对自行(主要来自GSCII和SDSS(DR 7)数据库); 31颗BHB星和37颗RR Lyrics星的径向速度。结合这些数据的BHB和RR天琴座恒星与以前发现的领域在北银河系极点,我们发现,逆行轨道占主导地位的银河系中心距离大于12.5千秒差距。已知太阳附近的大多数贫金属恒星都集中在Lperp与Lz角动量图中。我们发现,在主浓度的异常值的数量的比例增加与galactocentric距离。这些异常值与Lperp和Lz的位置表明,晕BHB和RR天琴座星有更多的逆行轨道和更球形的分布随着银河系的距离增加。六颗RR型天琴座恒星被确认在H99的异常群中;它们的[Fe/H]的微小分布表明它们可能来自一个单一的球状星团。另一组异常值包含两对天琴座RR型恒星,每对恒星都有相似的性质。
